iPod Touch Speaker issues

[usmaak]

Hi,

I have two 32 gig units, bought last week. My wife's is perfect, and has been since day one. I am currently on my third one. The first one had a loose headphone jack. Whenever the headphone jack was touched, I'd hear static through the headphones. The second one had noticable light leaking from the lefthand side of the case.

I've been playing with the third one. I noticed that the internal speaker is noticably quieter than the internal speaker in my wife's. Even turned up all the way, it is hard for me to hear speaker clicks. I also noticed that my screen is a bit brighter than hers.

Before I return this one, is there anything I can do to make the speaker louder? The only obvious thing that I can find is the sounds slider in settings. Even cranked up all the way, it's still quieter than if my wife's is set at 3/4.

Or is this even worth returning it for? I'm actually quite shocked at how many different issues I've come across in my week as an iPod Touch owner. It seems like pretty poor quality control.
